ESG Audit

There is a need for public companies to provide investors and consumers with information on organizational operations as it pertains to sustainability initiatives that companies use to drive financial performance. These sustainability initiatives are summarized around three key factors — environmental impact, social responsibility, and good corporate governance. 

This course will provide business professionals with a historical background on how these Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors evolved and how they play an important part in a company's current financial reporting and corporate disclosures. We will look at the current landscape of recommended ESG reporting standards outlined by various organizations and how you can leverage them to create your own set of policies and controls for ESC reporting and disclosures. Finally, we will also look at ESG from an investor's and consumer's perspective and give an overview of how companies are positioning their ESG reporting in alignment with their investments, interests, and values.
